True anarchists know the answer is the first one. Because the complaint for an anarchist is nothing except monopoly, anything else has nothing to do with it. That's how you know anarcho-communists aren't anarchists, they want a monopoly.

 User banned (2 week): conspiracy theories

Why is there so little reporting on this? Major sites like NPR, NYT barely a peep other than just saying the files were released.

How does a massive conspiracy like this stay hidden for decades even as multiple victims came forward? Because the media is in on it. The Epstein stuff only blew up because of social media.

How is that a conspiracy theory?  We already know of a NYT writer was in the Epstein files and, coincidentally im sure, wrote an article downplaying the release of said files.  I’m sure once more files are released we’ll see other legacy news media figures involved as well.

No clue what Era staff believe but my answer would be this: Because social media wouldn't even know about the Epstein stuff if it wasn't for his being prosecuted. If your theory is that there's an all powerful unstoppable global conspiracy covering up hall of fame level crimes you need to explain why they let Epstein not only be prosecuted but convicted twice by the system they control without opposition. And why this same conspiracy would ever allow the release of anything damning let alone not have already destroyed the evidence. Regular criminal kingpins do this all the time but we're supposed to believe the world's second greatest conspiracy after Zionism is simultaneously incredibly incompetent?

The media isn't going to report on things that aren't evidence of anything at all especially when it fails every single one of their editorial standards, no matter if one of their columnists is a pedophile. 

This is the same kind of thing MAGA was pushing back when they were parading around with binders a year ago. Claiming there was mass coverups over things reported back in 2019 that had been openly presented in court and available on the FBI's website for five years. Or using files they don't understand as sources for their pre-existing theories.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/neil-gaiman-accused-of-sexual-assault-and-rape-issues-statement-denying-the-claims-and-says-evidence-was-dismissed-or-ignored.1423156/#post-150813637

Decided to check out the "journalist" that had "evidence" that would contradict the previous reporting and...

So yeah, this is how the big defense of Gaiman starts. Then they just start trashing the victims in what has become the playbook after it worked for Johnny Depp.

The Johnny Depp/Amber Heard created a clear roadmap for those accused of DV/SA and other stuff to follow, that was then immediately attempted by Justin Baldoni to middling efefcts in the Blake Lively lawsuit.

See, the roadmap works.

But it only worked for Johnny Depp because Amber Heard was an unrepentant liar and legitimately abusive.

The mass murders of the French Revolution by its authoritarian government led to an Empire that invaded almost everywhere on the continent. After, the Bourbons were restored. So what democracy was repaired?

I enjoyed the comment that said the only reason the totalitarian revolution didn't succeed in achieving democracy was because the unchecked state that rejected human rights didn't murder enough of their citizens. Strange how this is always the Right Side of History's answer for why openly totalitarian movements that reject human rights and democracy don't lead to liberal democracy.

This isn't against you specifically so much as a pushback on the idea that Granblue Fantasy should be rated higher than some other games. Granblue Fantasy isn't as much of a lost cause as say, NIKKE or ZZZ and the game has a huge roster as expected of a 10+ year old game, but it has never shied away from sexualizing its cast in gross ways. There's countless examples but here's a few:
One - Two - Three - Four - Five
There's a ton of fate episodes (think of them as character quests) that involve the women eventually sleeping with the silent protagonist.

Maybe I'm really out of touch, but these just look like pinups to me, I don't see how this is unusual or gross.

Seeing Americans responses in this thread just pushes me away from this side of Era. Good job.

From moderators, no less.

When I said there was a moderation problem, this is what I meant. No wonder so many American instigators in these threads get away with it.

I would think at this point, moderation would work towards having a more multicultural and multinational line up. It would go a long way if they listened to Canadians and added a couple to the moderator list.

I wouldn't even know where to suggest this formally, but I agree. All I know is that US/Canada relations threads devolve within pages and next to nothing is being done about it. I'd like to feel like I can read and discuss things relating to my own country without having to deal with all of the American exceptionalism/whataboutism/#NotAllAmericans.

There's the Constructive Community Discussion 2025 Thread over in the Announcements subforum. Though, to be honest, I don't think posting there would change anything.

I'm not sure if this has increased lately but even outside the Canada and Greenland stuff it feels like more and more American forum members meddle and insert themselves in stuff that doesn't or shouldn't concern them. They twist stuff around and make themselves the center of attention/discussion. It's exhausting.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/trump-says-us-will-have-very-substantial-response-if-canada-enacts-trade-deal-with-china.1423258/page-4#post-150844837

It won't do a thing at all. Many times people bring up real issues there and it's ignored. We had a mod in a previous thread telling Canadians to "report them then" about the posts at which point multiple Canadians replied saying they had done and that was the last post by the mod in that thread. People are absolutely right, the moderation team on era needs to expand to include far more non Americans because the American bias being displayed as more and more threads are derailed before being locked by American posters not able to handle the world being fed up with the USA is getting ridiculous. The USA is an active threat to the world and has spent the last year plus threatening Canada with increasing acts of war and aggression, the USA has kidnapped leaders of nations without legal authority to, the USA has kept saying they'll steal any and all nations and resources they want because "who's going to stop them?" And yet we still have Americans and even mods treating this shit like it's not a big deal and that Canadians or anyone else outside the USA shouldn't be fed up.

This shit isn't a joke, the leader of the USA is a fucking idiot with instability issues aplenty, surrounded by a bunch of fucking evil pieces of shit on a power trip who can't handle the fact the world finds the USA a fucking embarrassment from top to bottom and their answer is to try and scare everyone else into thinking the USA isn't a shithole. The elected officials in power that are meant to keep them in check aren't doing a fucking thing and it's been going on for a year now with 0 fucking consequences. Maybe Americans should stay the fuck out of these threads if that can't get past the idea that this shit isn't a joke to those who are facing the consequences of the shit the USA is doing to those who literally have 0 fucking way to stop it and that we aren't just going to sit around and kiss Americans asses because they "didn't vote for him". People aren't going to keep holding their tongue while the aggression is constantly being turned up at them and there's 0 reasons to keep popping up in threads to try and downplay valid concern simply because you don't like that we don't trust the USA or Americans at large. That's also not going to help anyone trust Americans at large either so I don't even know what the point of it is.

Edit: at this point I guess this is going to be the last post I make in these threads because honestly I feel like bans are going to be thrown out for "insulting other members" or "being critical of mods" for simply being tired of the constant downplaying of this stuff. It's ridiculous that's a valid concern in 2026 on era of all places but considering how it's been in other threads I can't say it'd be unexpected.

"More multicultural and multinational line up" and then suggests adding a couple Canadians as the answer to this.  I know Era staff are tone deaf to the Commonwealth's particulars but I would think that going outside the English speaking sphere should be actual priority. Sounds about white.

Dude, this is a pretty bad and ignorant one liner post. Do you realize how multicultural Canada is? We're already the most diverse among Western nations, as 25% of the population is foreign born and 30% are currently identified as non-Caucasian(This stat is on steroids in Toronto, our largest city, where it's over 51% and 56%, so Caucasian folks are considered a minority here). That number jumping to approximately 43% in another 10 years or so, based on statistics Canada data(and its currently growing).
In that timeline, there will be more Asian or African ethnic background people being represented as a portion of the population in Canada, than in the US.
Also, you seem to forget that ICE, empowered by your president, killed 2 white people point blank too.

[benji]

Major ethnic Whites (69.8%)[3][4]
Minor ethnic South Asians (7.1%)[4]
Indigenous (5%)[5]
Chinese (4.7%)[4]
Blacks (4.3%)[4]
Filipinos (2.6%)[4]
Arabs (1.9%)[4]
Latin Americans (1.6%)[4]
Southeast Asians (1.1%)[4]
West Asians (1%)[4]
Koreans (0.6%)[4]
Japanese (0.3%)[4]

Sounds about white and white-adjacent.

30% of 41 million people is 12.3 million. California alone has 24.2 million white-adjacents or non-whites. Therefore Gavin Newsom is justified in attacking Canada. I don't make the theory.

Can’t help but to also point out that there was at least one Canadian moderator in the past.  You might remember her, massive islamophobe, kept an open presence in white nationalist heavy metal spaces online.

From looking at the demographic data, this is only true because the US counts Hispanics as white or not with roughly two-thirds of them counting as white. Only 59% of the US is white-white as Sydney Sweeney would prefer.

Nice to see everyone implicated given time to scrub evidence themselves.

Hmm that's true the protection thing is proven truer and truer every month of the 21st century that passes

It's also possible she was into other horrible things. Seems like the island was a playground for the rich to do things they couldn't elsewhere.

The fact she took her yacht says a whole lot though.

I'm not necessarily saying she's done anything I just don't like the framing just because she's a cis woman it's unlikely she's a pedo. She's a billionaire who used her money to ruin lives, well she what's up someday but she doesn't get an out.

Boy, wouldn't you feel stupid if there was some easily located information that questioned Joanne taking her yacht to Epstein's Island:

Subsequently, she was sold in 2023 to J.K. Rowling, author of Harry Potter novels, who rechristened her Samsara.[8]

[HaughtyFrank]

The fact she took her yacht says a whole lot though.

Kind of amazing how quickly things turn into facts despite this absolutely not being the case

[benji]

Obviously she traveled on this other guy's yacht there and bought it because she enjoyed the trips and boat so much but also so she could wipe the logs five years after Epstein died at the exact moment someone questioned her on social media.

And now she's put the logs back up after erasing any incriminating information:

I saw this clip of Edward Norton speaking about ICE, and it really resonated with me. Going about our day to day life while knowing everything that is currently happening is really one of the most difficult things I've ever lived through. Just the simple acts of eating, talking to my wife and kids, trying to play a video game or watching a film... you can't shake the images of whats happening from your mind, even for a brief moment. There's just this feeling of constant uneasiness, a feeling that it's probably wrong to be enjoying a moment of peace while our fellow citizens are being threatened, beaten, terrorized and wrongfully detained/imprisoned by the President of the United States' personal army. Although I love them endlessly, I hate knowing how I've brought my children into such an unstable time period, where I don't know that I will always be able to guarantee that everything is going to be okay. I hate knowing that I've brought them into the most cold and callous time period that I've ever seen. I hate knowing that I've brought them into an era where it's easier to just be distracted rather than invested in what is taking place.

Going to work every day and interacting with customers or coworkers who are in support of it all is also getting more and more difficult. You feel like you've completely lost touch with people, where in the past you could agree to disagree, it's a lot harder to do so when the people you're disagreeing with would probably celebrate you or your loved ones being imprisoned or killed. It's also harder to look these people in the eye when you know how much humanity they lack from their indifference or support of what is currently taking place.

I'm feeling the same way that I felt on January 6th, when I was begging my then fiancée to leave work because I was so afraid of what was coming. It feels like domino scene in V for Vendetta, like something major is inevitably about to happen.
